The Pear 1

The Pear – Hand drawn and Hand painted by our founder…

Under the guidance of local artist, Kirsten Deakin from Art at the Cowshed, this amazing drawing/canvas was created and painted…in our home town of Burradoo in the Southern Highlands.. Kirsten is known for her famous art works and commissions and also for her weekly Art Classes at The Cow Shed in Burradoo…” Not only did Kirsten guide me, but she also taught me how to find the ability to trust my instincts with each brush stroke – a truly amazing woman”

I am a lover of still life paintings and use my inspiration from Pinterest and Instagram and Art books… sometimes I draw and paint from actual still life products, as that is what my art tutor loves me to do, be myself and create from scratch, but hey with so many fine artists on socials and their amazing work, how can I not be tempted to be inspired by their works, having said that, I always change it up a bit so its not exactly like theirs and add my own personal touches.. Over the years I am sure that ill paint more from actual still life and landscapes within our glorious region of The Southern Highlands of NSW.

I use a mix of Acrylic and Oil Paints and now dabbling in Gouache paints, what a joy this medium is… I always draw first then paint, then glaze and or seal to protect the works.
